Matthew 05:01-05 The Beatitudes–Part 1

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

How some of the more radical forms of dispensationalism can badly affect our study of God’s Word.

Three reasons why Jesus gave us these beatitudes. (1) to show us how to live in such a way as to be blessed, 2) to help us see how badly we have blown it and how desperately we need His mercy, and 3) after we have received His Holy Spirit, to show a watching world what the Christian life is like.)

The importance of recognizing our own spiritual impoverishment.

The importance of learning how to mourn over sin and the effects of sin in the world, in our families, in our lives.

The importance of understanding the meaning of meekness and of living a life of genuine meekness. Learning from the Scriptures what meekness really is.

This study was recorded live in our Adult 5B class at Sevier Heights Baptist Church on January 3, 2016.

Stay in the Battle!
